    Hayden Christensen Confirmed To Return As Darth Vader In Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney+ Series

    Darth Vader is returning to a galaxy far far away and Hayden Christensen is back! LucasFilm has announced that Christensen will be returning as Dark Lord of the Sith in the upcoming Kenobi series on Disney+

    The Obi-Wan series, starring Ewan McGregor begins 10 years after the dramatic events of “Revenge of the Sith” and in what Kathleen Kennedy has dubbed, “the rematch of the century,” Kenobi and Vader will finally share the screen together again.

    Disney announced the news on Thursday during its Investor Day, and Star Wars’ official Twitter account tweeted out the casting as you can see below:

    “It was such an incredible journey playing Anakin Skywalker,” said Christensen. “Of course, Anakin and Obi-Wan weren’t on the greatest of terms when we last saw them… It will be interesting to see what an amazing director like Deborah Chow has in store for us all. I’m excited to work with Ewan again. It feels good to be back.”

    Also at the investor conference presentation they revealed the title and teaser video of the Cassian Andor series starring Diego Luna, Andor; the development of a series centered around Lando Calrissian; two Mandalorian spin-off series (including one centered on Rosario Dawson’s fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano); and that Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins will helm a new Star Wars feature film titled Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.

    The project has been described as a six-episode limited series that will begin filming in spring 2021.

    For those who though that Darth Vader wouldn’t be returning to his meet & greet location in Hollywood Studios, “I find your lack of faith disturbing.” Today, Disney announced Vader will indeed begin meeting guests again in the Launch Bay beginning this fall.

    Starting August 29 at Star Wars Launch Bay, you can even have a personal face-to-face encounter with Darth Vader himself.

    Kylo Ren replaced Darth Vader back in 2016 and has been meeting guests ever since, but his grandfather has decided it’s time to reclaim his rightful place in the park. In the words of Vader, “The circle is now complete.”

    Star Wars Launch Bay is a multi-sensory space for Star Wars fans of all ages with the “Meet the Makers” short film, galleries featuring treasured memorabilia and authentic replicas of Star Warsartifacts, special Star Warsmerchandise and also other character opportunities where you can meet favorite Star Wars characters like Chewbacca and BB-8.
